Description Facing west, towards the yard throat, we can see a double-stack coming into the yard on the right. On the left, a huge cut of cars is prepped and ready to be shoved over the yard hump by the bow trimmer locomotive pair, just behind me.

The double-stack will be completely finished off (notice the few cars without two containers), and the string of cars will be shoved over the hump, and workers will cut cars at the top, with each string rolling down to its respective sorting track in the bowl, to be built into another consist later on.

Yup. He was standing to the right when I shot this. His camera battery was dead though. My second trip recently yielded me some better results.
